producing much heat and decom-
posing organic matter from which
it takes water and carbonic acid.
Limestone does nothing Of this
kind. Lime is soluble in water;
limestone is not, excepting to a
very small extent, in water contain
ing carbonic acid. All these diff
ferences explain why limestone soils
are benefited by an application of
limeas much as clay or sandy soils;
also why limestone has no fertiliz-
ing action except in soils strongly
impregnated by carbonic acid.
They also explain why lime is so
useful in peaty and sour soils upon
which limestone exerts no more
effect than sand does.-N. Y. Times

BEANS NOT LEGAL TENDER.
President Diaz of Mexico Enforces
This Decision With Troops.

CITY OF MEXICO, Sept. l3.-Much
attention has been called of late to
the numberless injustices to which
the pcon or laboring class is sub
jected by the great landed proprie-
tors. One of the poems principal
grievances is that they are obliged to
take part or the whole of their
wages in farm produce instead of re-.
ceiving their pay in money.
An aggravating case of this nature
was recently reported from a farm in
the neighborhcod of the capital. The
owner wanted to pay his laborers in
beans, while they held out for part
cash. urging that the quantity Of
beans which they were to receive
would be more than they could by
any possibility consume, and that
they were in absolute want of money
to purchase necessary articles of
clothing. 1t is said that the case
came to the knowledge Of President
Diaz, who Immediately sent a body
Of troops to the scene and COM
PEELED the landlord to comply with
the reasonble demands of his poems.
This action Of President Diaz is
highly approved on the ground that
its apparent arbitrariness is more
than atoned for by the humanity of
the sentiments which prompted it.

LIME IN THE FALL.

The practice of lining land in
the fall is one that obtains wher-
ever there is good farming. Lime
constitutes the largest portion Of
the mineral elements of numerous
plants and nearly one-half Of the
ash Of the majority of plants grown
as farm crops. Hence it is a most
indispensable food for crops. It
has beneficial effect upon the soil
in three ways: It rapidly decom-
poses organic matter; it dissolves
silica and releases potash, magne-
sia, soda and phosphoric acid from
their combinations as si!icates, and
this is a purveyor of food for crops,
and it greatly aids and encourages
the nitrifcation of organic matter
in,the soil. There is therefore no
more useful fertilizer that can be
applied to the soil, and the most
convenient and effective time for
its application is in the fall when
the land is prepared for fall grain.
It is an old but foolish adage that
''lime enriches the fathers, but
ruins the sons,' meaning that it
impoverishes the soil. But this is
only true when it is used in an in
iudicious manner and without ade-
quate manuring. A truer maxim
would be that lime is the basis of
good farming and makes rich
farmers" for this is strictly true
and true for all soils whether they
be sand or clay or even abundantly
supplied with limestone.
Limestone is not lime. Lime is
strongly alkaline and corrosive;
limestone is neutral and inert.
Lime has strong affinity for water
combining with about one-third Of
its weight Of it, and also for car
bonic acid and in these combina-
